THIS HALLOWEEN, HAVE A SPOOKTACULAR TIME WITH ARCHIE & HIS FRIENDS!

In the 60 plus years that Archie Comics have been published, Archie and his friends have commemorated the holidays time and time again.  Countless stories featuring the gang involved in hilarious and heartwarming tales revolving around Valentine’s Day, Thanksgiving, and especially Christmas have peppered the pages of Archie Comics, much to the delight of readers.

One holiday that is a mainstay of Archie Comics is Halloween.  Kids love to dress up in costumes and have masquerade parties, and Archie and his friends are no exceptions.  Time and time again their Halloween hijinx have led to hilarity.  And sometimes they even met real monsters, as in the pages of “Archie’s Madhouse” and “Bats!”
